In the true tradition of Jain Acharyas we are
lucky to have Acharya Vidyanandji in the 20th century. It is for
many many centuries that a person of this calibre, vision,
knowledge, exceptional managerial skills and towering personality
is available to the Jains.

Many historical and landmark projects were
undertaken by him to help the Jains to come together (cutting
across the sectarian barriers) and understand the great treasures
(of values, philosophy and literature) inherited by us as a
result of excellent work done by Jain Acharyas over many many
centuries.

His command over many languages (current and
ancient), depth of knowledge and great amount of research in old
scripts is reflected in his actions, thinking, discourses and
many books written by him.

He has widely traveled across the length and
breadth of the country covering thousands of miles on barefoot
including visit to ice covered Amarnath Caves in Himalayas
accessible only for a few days in a year for the benefit of all
living beings.

May his continued presence be a constant source
of inspiration for all of us to spread the message of Sarvodaya
(world religion), for the benefit of all living beings.
